Three things Jay Johnson said after LSU baseball beat Oklahoma
LSU baseball took Game 1 from Oklahoma on Thursday night. Here's what Tigers' coach Jay Johnson had to say after the win.
LSU baseball beat Oklahoma 7-1 on Thursday night, kicking off a three-game SEC series with a win. It was a needed victory for the Tigers , who were coming off back-to-back series losses. LSU was led by ace Casan Evans, who tossed 7.
2 innings without allowing an earned run. He struck out 15 and only walked one. Evans entered the game with a 6.
45 ERA, but after the start, it's down to 4. 80. The outing was, by far, Evans' best of the year.
If LSU is going to make a run in the SEC and contend to host a regional, it begins with starting pitching. Evans' arm is one of the best in the SEC, but he's struggled to find consistency. If Evans can build off his Thursday night performance, the Tigers have momentum heading into the heart of the schedule.
